As long as it outperforms the 17-40 (and it should), that's what I care about. As far as UWA zooms for Canon FF that accepts filters, the lens I want is the Nikon 16-35 f/4 + converter for Canon FF. As far as I am concerned the optical performance of the Tokina 17-35 should surpass the Canon 16-35L, 17-40L, and compete directly with the Nikon 16-35 (hopefully). You might as well go for the Nikon 14-24 if you're gonna go through all that trouble of converting to EOS.

Not too sure but think some of the Pentax lenses are made by Tokina. Hoya owns Pentax and Tokina if I understand correctly. Oskar (Oscar) - stuff I use- Flickr

I can barely imagine this as a serious post, because you REALLY have to work hard to miss the name Tokina on any photography forum. Some of my lenses focus beyond infinity...!

It's better than my good copies of 17-40L and 16-35L in terms of corner sharpness, distortion and flare but purple fringe at 17mm is worse than 17-40L and 16-35L. 5Dc | 450D | s12-24 | 50 1.4 | 70-200L F4 | 430EX II

Purple fringing is nothing new for Tokina lenses. Easy to fix, but annoying to have to do it, especially when working with HDR images where it's really critical. Normally with Tokina lenses purple fringing + flare go hand in hand, so it's good to see this doesn't suffer from it so much. Some of my lenses focus beyond infinity...!
